President Rodrigo Duterte's common law wife Cielito 'Honeylet' Avanceña finally broke her silcence as she defended his husband against allegations that he is a killer.

During the launch of Philippine National Police's 'Life after Tokhang' program, Honeylet stressed that Duterte's political critics like Senator Antonio Trillanes IV would hae been dead if her husband is indeed bloodthirsty.

"You've seen it, Trillanes has been hitting us since a week before election. Eh bakit buhay pa siya?Di ba? Wala naman nangyayari eh, so it's not true. You know that he's not that kind of person," said Honeylet as she turned emotional.

Unlike what detractors' notion about Duterte, Avanceña said her partner is forgiving, citing his mended ties with long political rival, former House Speaker Prospero Nograles.

"Nograles himself has done not very good things to him in the past, but look how forgiving he is," she added.

Trillanes, known to be one of the greatest critics of Duterte accused him and his family of having undeclared bank deposits that allegedly contain several hundred million pesos. He has also accused Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte in smuggling together with the Bureau of Customs.
